Background and approach
Her credentials include LPCC and LPC-MHSP. She brings eight years of counseling experience and draws on methods that match each person's needs. Therapy sessions often center on identifying one or two concrete goals.
She uses client-centered work to understand what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. Mindfulness techniques are added to help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy support people who want quick, practical steps for change. Sessions focus on skills you can use between appointments. Dr.
Brimage practices in Tennessee and works in ways that respect different backgrounds and life experiences. She supports people facing relationship strains, grief, parenting stress, career decisions, trauma impacts, and compassion fatigue. Her aim is to help clients close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around what matters most to the client. In online sessions this means conversations start with the client's goals and move at a comfortable pace, so the therapist can tailor suggestions to daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and action-oriented. It guides clients to notice patterns of thought that affect mood and then try small behavioral experiments. Online CBT can include homework, thought records, and brief check-ins by message between video or phone sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and lifestyle. That process can begin in a first session and be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when writing feels more natural. These options help people maintain continuity of care and apply skills between appointments.
